I want to perform a resistance simulation on a scale model of a small wood bridge; the model is 1/10 scale; someone knows how much I have to scale the uniform load to obtain a correct simulation (not considering the self load)? Thanks in advance |

If you could give us a drawing of the bridge it would be helpful. However, I would think that you should write a bunch of equations to get the same stresses as the full scale bridge. This should involve tensile, compressive and shear stresses in the truss sections ,F/crossection area, and bending moment streses of the form
Deflections would be of the form

Thank you Zekeman
I had this suspect; anyway I will post a drawing of this bridge a soon as I complete the final sketch, but statically it is comparable to a simple beam with two support. |
